Mechanisms Involved in Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor-Induced Neurotransmitter Release from Sympathetic Nerve Terminals in the Mouse Vas Deferens
Prejunctional nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) amplify postganglionic sympathetic neurotransmission, and there are indications that intraterminal Ca(2+) stores might be involved. However, the mechanisms by which nAChR activation stimulates neurotransmitter release at such junctions is unknown. Rapid local delivery (picospritzing) of the nAChR agonist epibatidine was combined with intr...
متن کاملVas deferens--a model used to establish sympathetic cotransmission.
The vas deferens has been used as a model for many diverse studies of different aspects of autonomic neurotransmission since its introduction including, in particular, sympathetic cotransmission involving release of ATP and neuropeptide Y together with noradrenaline and prejunctional and postjunctional neuromodulation. It has also been used to study sympathetic reinnervation following vasectomy...
متن کاملSpinal cord segments controlling the canine vas deferens and differentiation of the primate sympathetic pathways to the vas deferens.
This study was undertaken to explore the spinal cord segments controlling the canine and human vas deferens and differentiation of the mammalian sympathetic pathways to the vas deferens. Thoracolumbar white communicating rami (WCR) were electrically stimulated in the dogs. Stimulation of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lumbar WCR elicited an elevation of intraluminal pressure of the vas deferens in ...
متن کاملCFTR Mutations in Congenital Absence of Vas Deferens
A qualitative diagnosis of infertility requires attention to female and male physical abnormalities, endocrine anomalies and genetic conditions that interfere with reproduction. Many genes are likely to be involved in the complex process of reproduction. Cystic fibrosis (CF) incidence varies in different White people populations (a higher incidence of CF is observed in northern–western European...
متن کاملA Case of Duplicated Vas Deferens Found Incidentally during Varicocelectomy
Duplication of the vas deferens is a very rare congenital anomaly in which two vasa deferentia coexist within the spermatic cord. Duplication of the vas deferens can be found during herniorrhaphy, vasectomy, and varicocelectomy performed on the spermatic cord or around the spermatic cord. However, it is estimated that the incidence of duplication of the vas deferens is under-reported and under-...
